Born Eunice Waymon in 1933, Nina Simone is one of the greatest voices of jazz blues and responsible for great versions of classics such as Gershwin"s "Porgy", Benjamin/Marcus "Don"t Let Me Misunderstood" and the wonderful "Young , Gifted and Black", a composition of her own. This collection presents eight tunes that, although lesser known, offer a more thorough overview of the artist.
